> start struggling over the next

They’re already struggling!

In the past, the three big clouds would deploy cutting-edge CPUs at scale ahead of general availability for ordinary rackmount servers.

Now?

The AMD EPYC 9004 series processors were announced over a year ago in March 2023, but are still trickling out as “preview” in selected regions in Azure. Similarly, Intel Xeon fourth-gen CPUs haven’t even been announced by Azure, but Intel is already shipping fifth-generation CPUs!

I suspect that up until a couple of years ago, the usage of public cloud was increasing at such a pace that the providers were buying a truckload of CPUs every six months, so they were keeping up with the latest tech.

They must have had new signups dry up as soon as interest rates went up, and they’re now milking their existing kit instead of expanding with new generation servers.
Oh you think White-Collar workers don't need Unions [video]
They don't know what they're talking about. Kill switches are not "tripped" there is no "control channel".

A kill switch is just a firewall rule that is ALWAYS engaged and all it does is blocks off-VPN traffic.

It 100% will defend against this exploit.
>You seem to be implying that for everyone who is not the 1st person subjective experiencer of pain, the only possible representation of that pain is some form of "calculation".

Not exactly. I'm showing the abusrdity of people who think that the brain is just a computer and that its results: "just a number" fly in the face of their reality of experiencing pain. If it's just a number, why don't they slam their hand in the door and show us?

> You seem to further imply that this reduction somehow says something specific about the nature of pain itself. Am I reading this right?

By their own definition, "the nature of pain itself" is just a number, just a result of a huge calculation of trillions of neurons with substantially higher numbers of networks. The terrifying sound, the facial expressions, the visceral "gut-feeling", thats all just pattern recognition (on your behalf), there's nothing more to it than a calculation, right?

> Mutual exclusivity seems misapplied here.

technically correct but only because we could, in theory, both inflict pain on ourselves simultaneously using the doorway.
Hijacking the back button to lock me on the page is an unacceptable violation of my browser functionality. Don't do that. It's bad. When I click the back button, I want to go away from where I am, back to where I was before. I don't click the back button to remain in the same place.

I wanted to watch the demo video again; even if it's only on the initial signup page, the hijack is irritating. If it's intentional, that's offensive.
> On-the-job observations done by someone with way more experience

This feels like it puts a potential hard cap on quality growth by discouraging mixups or experimentation that might improve education, but wouldn’t please an old-guard for one reason or another, and discourages alternative class styles which the judge doesn’t approve of.

Both of those seem like potentially serious problems in education, given that its structure has with few exceptions been effectively stagnant over the last several hundred years. You therefore may be mistaking “evaluating the success at implementing the widely accepted method” for an “evaluation of quality”.
Meta's new multi-token prediction makes AI models up to 3X faster
I was talking about American subgroups. The moralizing around sports and exercise tends to be a WASP thing (which refers specifically to northeastern WASPs, not anyone who fits the literal definition of the term). Among Asian Americans it depends on where you are—they tend to assimilate into the local culture.

My point is that suggesting that people who eat and gain weight must be unhappy and coping, because happy rich people play sports, is a culturally based assumption. American WASPs and Northern Europeans absolutely stand out in that respect. Even in East Asian cultures with strong social pressure to not gain weight, adults playing sports isn’t common.
My current project[1] is a mix of JavaScript, go and Java. The key to keeping this together is to use the right tool for the job and have the interlanguage communication generated. In this case that means grpc, protobuf and vs code for go and JS but IntelliJ for Java. Automate everything religiously so it is hard to get out of sync.

I am a huge protobuf fanboy, and accept it has flaws, but it has saved me so much time and pain over the years it is amazing.

It’s hard to understand how someone could fall for this scam… if a loved one was having an emergency of some kind I would expect them to call rather than text, and I would respond with a call either way to discuss the details.

I’m also generally leery of people “urgently needing money.” It seems like something a scammer would do, and I couldn’t see any of my family members doing it. Maybe I’m a jerk, but I’d be more likely to offer a lecture on financial responsibility than a quick money transfer.
Even if Tumblr wanted to serve it, who would want to download it!? although it probably deflates really well.

Agree that Search is a hard problem.

So was Maps, but Apple committed the time, resources and focus to make it happen. In 2024, I would say the Maps initiative has been an overwhelming success.

As per the article, Apple already has a search solution in Spotlight, which though it hasn't been battle tested as a general web search solution, seems to be a great basis to improve and make better.

My concern is that due to their addiction to the Google partnership money, Apple don't even seem to be contemplating their own Search approach.

This is how we end up with monopolies in product areas as the big tech players, in effect, collude to not compete in core areas of business due to partnership agreements.
But there's a difference:

A Beitrag is bound to a well defined objective which means it is determined what the money will be used for at the moment it is collected whereas a Steuer contributes to the household as such.

Also, public TV is not controlled by the government but by a council that is more or less democratic. Still far from perfect, sure

So I make a comment about how selfish the culture has become because a bigger vehicle is less safe for people _outside_ that car... And your retort is to tell us about how safe the big vehicles are for people _inside_ the car. The irony is your selfishness is exactly what I'm referring to. Thanks for the laugh you're not the brightest.
You're missing the point. There's a massive difference between getting a box service, and getting a highly available regionally distributed service with a semblance of a SLA of bandwidth to anywhere on the planet. To quote a former manager, its not even apples and oranges, is apples and pumpkins. They simply aren't in any way the same scope.
Why is Ukraine not allowed to choose which group they want to be with?

Another recommendation for Art of Problem Solving. The books even have complete solutions manuals so they're perfect for self-teaching.

https://artofproblemsolving.com/store

Try to see if they'd be using spaced repetition software like Anki to schedule review of problems they've understood how to solve.
You could maybe achieve that with this design if a summary could be set for resolved discussions and shown at a higher level (eg. when hovering over the source text of a thread).

Having the ability to differentiate between a resolved, useful thread and a resolved but ultimately unnecessary thread might also help avoid noise.
LOL, of course I should have just checked YouTube first. Thanks.
My mother fell for exactly this scam, thankfully was able to cancel the transaction just in time and gave evidence to the police. Funny to see on HN something that touches one so close.

The most fascinating thing here is the lack of sophistication of the approach. No fake images or audio or anything.

I'm worried about the new wave of impersonation scams that's coming thanks to voice cloning.
Luckily I managed to avoid socially alienated work environments so far. I actually enjoy working even.

I presume the vast majority of humans needs and enjoys social warmth, and a personal connection. You can escalate almost any conversation out of grocery lane talk with one or two questions, so your experience is maybe a bit on you, too. Also don't shun chitchat, there is subtext, belonging and trust building encoded. It's an offer and a compliment.

Apart from basic needs, this also creates an environment more resilient to worker exploitation.
That sound like a bug, definitely not intentional. Will look into that.

Has anyone tried these code snippets on modern compilers and noted how much our error messages have improved?
Is there a simple DIY? Is it as simple as running a custom router firmware or software on a small mini PC? Last I looked into this a couple years ago, it basically wasn't possible to chain multiple VPN providers on the same machine, even using VPNs, but maybe I'm misremembering. You could of course just use the built-in VPN connection of your router, but that lacks all the benefits of updated software/firewall, and I want my family to be able to watch Netflix, browse the web without running a CAPTCHAthon, etc.
it usually isn't because banks are not all-seeing and cannot tell which local employer or industry is likelier to go bust. in that sense all metro areas are often equally risky.
Yeah. Pricing or get busted.
I like how clearly scrollability is indicated on PalmOS, even without a scrollbar.
Like others have said, I think this really just comes down to experience. Keep at it, become comfortable with the languages, and it shouldn't be an issue.

Writing beautiful idiomatic code in multiple languages is a big challenge, but writing syntactically correct code should just come naturally after a while.
Post to HN when that launches. I’ll take a look then.
Just out of curiosity, Why set up keywords for boilerplates? Are you looking for free ones, and if so have you found any on HN?
AFAIK Wireguard will always listen in the default namespace, thus you need to isolate everything else. A fun way of doing it though is to do an ip rule that uses the VRF table, and matches on the user id. That way all traffic from certain users will always end up in the same routing table. You can go further and match on everything except the Wireguard endpoint. With iptables you can MARK the traffic you want to be differently and then catch that traffic with ip rule.
Unrelated, but have you heard of Distributed Computing Through Combinatorial Topology? Seems up your alley.

Distributed Computing Through Combinatorial Topology: https://www.amazon.com/Distributed-Computing-Through-Combina...
I always chime on these threads.

We had our entire system replaced about two years ago now. Was around 17k with furnace AND heatpump. I had maybe a half dozen quotes and picked the one that was just above middle of the pack (mind you we had to have it replaced as the system was failing).

We still have oil as backup for really cold days.

I was curious if this was all worth it so have been tracking our electricity and oil spend. We'll break even easily within the next few years compared to if we had just replaced everything with the cheaper stuff (non heatpump). Granted we were oil only for heat so that may not be a fair comparison for where you're at but for us its been a no-brainer.

We did have one quote just over 20k for basically the top of the line system which we were told would have given us more savings and a more comfortable home. I do sometimes wish we went with that (payback would have added some years).

> A VPN kill switch is a must-have for privacy reasons when using a VPN. If you are actively using the VPN to transfer data and your Internet connection becomes unstable or drops, the entire network connection on your device will be blocked to prevent your local IP address from being exposed to the outside world. The kill switch is on by default on Windows, Android, iOS, macOS and Linux and there is no setting to turn it off.

even without population growth, household size decline means that there will be more demand for housing, since the same amount of people divided by smaller household size = more households.
True, but if we take their word on it

then i don't see an issue
What does "wayward children" mean? I never heard this expression before.
I take issue with your use of the word "perfectly". I've tried their products many times (and even won a personal licence a few years ago). They are far from perfect. If they afford you a productivity gain then all power to you, I personally find them a slight hindrance.
I find it remarkable that there really doesn't seem like a lot of momentum to innovate the desktop. I'm dead sick of Windows and Mint is just a carbon copy.

I want several, hard, discrete desktops. I want one that I can toss a bunch of graphics files onto that has something kin to "Fences" so I don't have to navigate the file explorer. And with the flick of a button I can move to a different desktop that I've set up for work, one for play and etc... I think Ubuntu used to have something similar, though I wouldn't be surprised if it actually behaves much like Windows and is just a window manager.

I do a lot on the desktop to specifically avoid the file manager because file managers seem to be intrinsically unnavigable. And then there's inconsistencies between applications which is enough to press me ever closer to an aneurysm. Going between the Win10 file explorer and one from Win95 a la ImageJ is awful.

Shit, with a system like that I reckon you could almost get away without a file explorer.
>As ridiculous as house prices are, they are still generally affordable for many

What? Technically this is true because “many” people already own homes and can use that wealth towards another. However, when talking about the unafordability of homes the target market being discussed should be first-time home buyers (unless you have an investment podcast or something).

In my HCoL bubble the only people I know that can afford their first house are high-income DINKs, or living 30mins outside of the city, or have a high-paying remote job and can relocate to a LCoL area with its own drawbacks.
To me the syntax is the least problematic - Ruby, Python, Node, PHP... they're not that different looking syntax-wise.

For me it's definitely the CLI, package manager, and other devops around using the language that makes the context-switching tougher. npm vs gem vs pip and the fact that they all kinda work differently: npm will install libs into a "node_modules" folder in every project (so you could have 45 copies of React) where other package managers might install 1 copy system wide and your project just references it, so it affects how you deal with version mismatches. nvm vs rbenv vs venv/pyenv - slight nuances there too.

Case in point try using Angular as a React dev. You're still in JavaScript, but the CLI part is different and more involved, the @ decorator syntax and other paradigms look/feel nothing like the React ecosystem.

Getting into compiled languages there's usually a heavy IDE component you need to use and be good at (thinking of iOS/Xcode, or whatever C/C++ devs are using).

But once I'm to the point of writing in a code file and I can easily run it and see my changes, I'm good at that point.

Tips: LLMs are great translators. An LLM sidekick to accompany work outside your normal language or framework is extremely useful - can't recommend it enough. Not only will you get bespoke code examples but it will explain the "why" behind certain things that are foreign to you.

And of course, just spend a lot of time coding in the language you want to make less mistakes in.
That’s where the UI affordances come in, for instance a button on each node to hide/show all comments that are descendants of that node.
I started my career at Braun and have a huge soft spot for them. Hope to visit Kronberg again some day, maybe the fair would be a good excuse. Thank you highlighting it, was very enjoyable to read and go back memory lane.
As somebody who recently did a deep dive into music licensing for a podcast, the simplicity of the license terms of ai companies is sometimes appealing, by comparison. Not always

Music licenses are obscenely complex, and understanding almost anyone’s license is a research project. Epic won’t even clarify if you email them, they just tell you you’d better retain a lawyer. Every company redefines terms like broadcast, performance, media, audience, platform, etc. it’s insane

I won’t be using ai music. I’m just saying, I wish you could license human music in a way where you didn’t have to live in fear of breaching the terms by accident
"Meanwhile, Microsoft stock is about 10x over the last 10 years. Transaction costs are minimal. I can sell it on a moment's notice. I was paid dividends. No insurance costs, no property tax, no maintenance."

If you manage to pick Microsoft in 2014, Apple in 2000, Tesla in 2015 and BTC in 2010, you are definitely way better off not buying a house but keep renting.
There are so many DHCP options, for something like Android it makes sense to start with only supporting the bare minimum and then only enable support for an additional option if there is a requirement raised for it. Given this DHCP option isn’t commonly used, such a strategy would likely result in it not being supported, irrespective of any security concerns with it.
I was at a Christmas party a couple jobs ago and they did a presentation that was supposed to be all good news and instead basically ruined the party for me.

The bit that freaked me out was 2 customers were 60% of revenue.

Those two customers can change your policies in ways you don't want to, because you can't afford to piss them off. And if something happens to one of them you're fucked.

How do we address discrimination against racial minorities? While I work for a colorblind society, I know we're obviously not there yet.

Another difficulty is that we legislate based on race without saying the word, both intentionally (e.g., find another way to characterize the target of discrimination) and unintentionally (e.g., our education system limits opportunities for some racial minorities, both due to poorer education and lack of social connections; colleges and employers, if they just follow the 'system', end up discriminating).

- a set of observable manifestations of an experienced emotion : the facial expressions, gestures, postures, vocal intonations, etc., that typically accompany an emotion

- the conscious emotion that occurs in reaction to a thought or experience

I’ve written a fair amount of production code in a bunch of different languages and despite years of experience I still usually reference a syntax cheat sheet or something for most languages (python being an exception at this point).

Like others have said, keep at it and you’ll improve memory/recall over time. But if you don’t, that’s fine too. The ability to write code really fast with perfect recall of syntax is overrated IMO.
